🖤pta nhi 🖤

Aanya stepped forward hitting Shiv's arm teasingly.

"Oye hoye bhai pure biwipaglu ho gye ho"

Shruti chimed in "Aur abhi tk to shaadi bhi nhi hui. Dekh lijiye Maami, khi aapko bhul na jaye bhai."

Maa stepped in "Are aise kaise, ye bhul jaye chalega pr meri bachi mujhe nhi bhulegi. h na Devi?"

Devi nodded shyly.

Mihira sat beside Devi "Accha vaise Devi, ye grdan ke pass bhi kya mehndi lg gyi thi jo laal ho gya h." She touched her neck teasingly.

Devi blushed before shuttering "N-Nhi vo..."

Shruti sat on her other side "Nhi vo mchhar kaat gya hoga, h na bhabhi?"

Devi bit her lower lip nervously. "N-Noor kaha h ? " changing the topic .

Aanya chuckled at her excuse." Noor? Vo to bohot time ho gya dikhai hi nhi di." She looked around.

"Lo vo aagyi" Maa said as Noor walked in nervously.

"kya hua?" She asked, flustered as everyone was looking at her.

"kuchh nhi beta, tum kaha chali gyi thi? Sab tumko hi dhundh rahe the."Noor's mother said softly.

"Kyu maa kuchh hua kya?" Noor asked in curiosity.

"Nhi beta kuchh..." Before Devyani auntie could complete her sentence, Aanya cuts her. "kuchh nhi, bahut kuchh...!" she said dramatically.

"Sb miss kr diya tune"

Noor made a fake sad face. "Achha, aisa kya?"

Mihira pulled Noor toward her whispering in her ear. Women again started playing dholki and singing folk songs.

Devi sat there as they continued to apply mehndi on her arms. After a few minutes of laughing with Mihira, Aanya and Shruti, Noor came to sit beside Devi.

"kya chal raha h?" Devi asked seriously without looking at Noor.

"Fog chal raha h" Noor said calmly. Devi shot her a glare.

"Achha ye konsa fog h jo kamar pe lga h?"

Noor's brows furrowed before she touched her own waist and looked at her palm. Her eyes widened as she saw mehndi.

"ye do bdi bdi aankein h meri ji, sb dikhai

deta h mujhe. tujhe kya lgta h maine nhi dekha kitni der se mujhe akela chhor k gyi tu aur jb aai to Rudraksh devar ji aarhe the pichhe pichhe and I saw he was wiping his hands with his handkerchief." Devi said while making angry expressions and shaking her head.

"Dekh bachu ya to tu khud bta de kya chal rha h ya main sidha devar ji se puchhu." Devi warned Noor finally.

Noor squinted her eyes "Dhumki to aise de rhi h jaise puchha jayega isse" She muttered under her breath.

"kya bola?" Devi leaned towards her still glaring at her with her cute angry eyes.

Noor flats her face pouting slightly "Kuchh nhi lady don. Kuchh nhi"

"Ha to ab fatafat chalu ho ja" Devi said while blowing her hair away from her face

Noor tucked her hair strands behind her ear helping her.

She cleaned her throat before speaking. "Unse glti se lg gyi thi mehndi"

Devi clicked her tongue not accepting the explanation. "Nhi, Kamar pe? Glti se?..tch..Aur unke haath me mehndi kya jhak marne gyi thi?"

Noor whined "are yaar. Igayi hogi unhone apni hone vali biwi ke liye, hogi koi mujhe kya pata. Aur main girne vali thi bs isiliye  bachaya unhone mujhe aur kuchh nhi"

Devi stared at Noor for a few seconds. "Thik h maan leti hu, par agr bad me mujhe kuchh pta lga na, To Section 143 ke tehet shaadi ki baat chala dungi teri unse"

Noor nodded hesitantly.

"Oye dulhe raja ab aapko mehndi lgane ki baari h" Maa made Shiv sit on the couch beside Devi. Noor stood up smiling.

Shiv smiled warmly while sitting "Noor tum mehndi lagaogi apne jiju ko?"

Maa gave mehndi to Noor as she suggested her to do it.

"Ji jrur kyo nhi" "Noor chirped

Shiv kept admiring Devi's name being written on his palm. "aage dil bnake mera naam bhi likh dijiye saali sahiba" he exclaimed.

Noor stopped to look at him, everyone looked at him astonishingly.

There was a soft smile filled with awe placed on everyone's lips.

He looked up wondering why did she stop.

"Pyaar me pure pagal ho gye h bhai" "Aanya  exaggerated, breaking the silence.

He plastered a smile on his face and turned to look at his love.

She was already blushing  looking down.

Noor did as he asked for.

Devi ♡ Shiv

"Ok ok ok Mehndi is done, ab Sangeet. Finally I will do my dance performance."Aanya jumped in excitement.

As the family members went outside, where the sangeet ceremony was meant to be. It was outdoor, almost midnight.

Shiv lifted Devi in his arms, her feet painted in alta.

The surroundings were vibrant and bustling, filled with clappings and hootings.

Shiv put Devi on the big couch cautiously. He lifted her feet and turned them to his lap so that her alta doesn't mess.

Devi flustered and tried to put her feet down but he tighten his grip on her ankles.

Lights off. Music on.

Aanya's performance was first and she was lit fire with her energetic moves.

She was too eager that Aarav and Neel had to pull hur off the stage to stop her dancing.

"Ruk bhi jao bebo! "

Devi laughed and was about to clap but then she remembered her mehndi. She bit her tounge. Shiv chuckled silently shaking his head.

Now It was Shruti and Mihira's turn.

Devi's Pov

Everyone's performances were so good and charismatic. Especially Aarav's and Neel's. I could'nt stop laughing. And the songs, were perfectly chosen.

Maa and papa's performance was the cutest one. So romantic.

I leaned back unknowingly, my back has began to hurt. Aur ho bhi kyu na? Subah de baithe hi to hu bs.

My eyes started to flutter close, but then I felt a soft tap on my cheek.

I opened my eyes slowly but my eyelashes felt too heavy.

I could see his blurred face and then I felt a soft pillow behind my back.

I slowly drifted into sleep feeling comforting tickling on my ankles like someone was playing with my anklets.

The music faded and sleep took over me. My breaths become even and calm.

Shiv's POV

Her laughter was the prettiest sound I have ever heard in my life. The way her lips curve and her eyes close when she laugh.

The light in her eyes, her cheeks turning pink with warmth. The way her head falls back .

Those cute gestures of her. Her small hands filled with mehndi...for me.

She  laugh because of me - which she deserves. She deserves to laugh her life out. She deserves love, my love, me, luxury, gifts, everything.

She deserves someone who worships every inch of her body, her soul. And that someone is only me. Only me.

Her eyelashes fluttered in dizziness. I asked Aarav to bring me pillow. I cupped her cheek softly, checking how sleepy she is. Her eyes opened slowly before closing again. I put the pillow behind her back.

Ofcourse her back might be hurting afterall they made my jaan sit all day long. I caressed her head. Her mehndi had dried.

I put her hands on her stomach carefully, not before kissing her palm. Everything suits my love. To fir ye mehndi kya cheez h.

I felt her body relax slowly.

A soft smile pressed on my lips looking at her peaceful face. Her feet shifted slightly in my lap. Her anklets jingling caught my attention. An urge to touch her anklets filled in my chest.

Those sounds I have always heard, first time when I went to her house. Chhan chhan...

sound came before her, and also when she came to my house.

Its like I will find my little lost puppy hearing these anklets bells everytime, no matter how far she go.

I didn't even realize when I started playing with those anklets.

The whole ceremony ended with me playing all the time. I lifted my head when Maa come infront of me. "She might be tired beta, tum isse car me leta do, Noor will go with her." She persuaded.

I nodded before taking her sleepy form in my arms. Feeling her soft warm breaths on my chest I moved to the car. Noor opened the door.

I placed her in making sure her head doesn't bump above. I kissed her forehead, unclutching her hands on my kurta. "Sleep well, Jaan."

I closed the door after Noor sat inside. "Take care, Saali sahiba."

She smiled politely. "Bye jiju" and waved a good bye at me. I nodded back.

At Shiv's house

He was working out in his gym, lifting the dumbbells one by one. His biceps flexing unintentionally each time he lifts. His hair was now slightly wet with sweat.

Meanwhile outside the door Aanya was whispering

"Tu bhi to ja skti h na."

Shruti clicked her tounge as "na" "are yaar tu unki laadli behna h na" She whispered back and pushed her towards the door "Ja na please"

Aanya made a face "why me" But Shruti pushed her forward making her enter the room. Aanya's mouth fell open at the sudden push.

She looked back at her but Shruti had already closed the door. She sighed and took a deep breath, trying to put a smile on her face. But it was awkward lol.

Shiv's head lifted to see Aanya standing there, frozen. He waited for her to say something, his lifts never stopped though.

Aanya laughed awkwardly.

Shiv's eyes furrowed "Ye achanak se hsne kyu lg gyi" His face contracted in playful confusion, a grin itself placing on his face.

Aanya finally uttered "Bhai vo m kya keh rhi thi..."

"Mujhe kaise pta hoga chhoti, merko koi jaadu vaadu nhi aata" Shiv stated playfully.

Aanya walked closer to him faster, her body language was screaming that she have something crazy in her mind.

"Yes correct bhai, correct. Vo main keh rhi thi ki..."

"ki?" Shiv finally dropped the dumbbells, and pick up his water bottle.

Aanya cleared her throat "vo main keh rhi thi ki hum sb, main, aap, bhabhi, Shruti, noor I  mean sb k sb khi bahr chalte h. Group honeymoon pe .

Shadi ke baad to sb jate h, hum aapko shaadi se pehle leke jayenge or akele to bilkul nhi jane denge. Saath me jayenge. Abhi aap special ho to aapka honeymoon bhi to special hona chahiye nhi?" Aanya said in one breath, she stopped finally catching her breath.

Her cheeks turned pink in embarrassment

Mana ki main besharam hu lekin itni bhi nhi. group honeymoon? what the heck Shruti? It was her idea aur bolne ke liye mujhe bhej diya. Oh god ab main kya bolungi.

Shiv was staring at her in disbelief like he had seen a bird with four legs and large black moustache that is on his head  (what an imagination, hats off man )

"Bhai achha... forget I said something" She made an excuse, running back to leave on soon as possible

"Vaise idea achha h." Shiv's calm voice made her stop her steps, her eyes widened with excitement, she squealed while turning back to her big brother. She jumped on him like a koala screaming in joy.

"Thank you Thankyou Thankyou THANK YOU SO MUCH BHAI. You are the coolest brother ever." She chirped in happiness.

Shiv chuckled embracing her in a warm hug. "Ab apni chhoti ke liye main cool kya -10° degree  bhi bn jau"

Aanya backed off to look at him with a "hain?" face.

" Lekin Bhai aapme sense of humour bilkul bhi exist nahi krta "

Shiv rolled his eyes, grin still plastered on his face

"Tu h  na, puri package."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

My head felt relaxed and light as if placed on a soft cushion. Unclear visions of him picking me, faint noises of someone talking. I was regaining my consciousness slowly. Coming out of those scenes. I slowly opened my heavy eyelashes in sleep.

"UNCLE DHYAN se ! " I heard Noor screaming in terror.

My face contracted in confusion as I was still in half asleep. I could feel the car moving violently underneath me. Something was wrong.

Before I could think of anything. Tires creaked loudly...

A painfully bright yellow light sliced my sleepy eyes as I looked forward.

Horn shouted loudly. A large truck was visible now.

Thud! A collision

Glasses shattered around. The car squealing violently, twirling on the road

My head banged on something. " Ahhh.."

Silence.

It felt like utter silence... like death

"Noor?" My voice came out cracked as blood coming from my head travelled to my lips

No response.

"ah.."

I forced my eyes to stay open. I tried to move my body

but I was numb, I was not able to move, not even an inch.

I could hear my own heartbeats thumping loudly in the silence. Smell of smoke and dust filled my lungs. I tried to breathe, to keep myself alive but it felt impossible.

"Noor?" I called out again, my voice barely leaving my throat. Still no response. She died? my thoughts trembled.

No! It can't happen. I breathed sharply but rather than oxygen smoke filled in my throat I chocked hard, my body shaking with each cough. Or did I die? I can't feel my body.

My eyes began to give up, closing slowly. I fluttered my eyelashes a few time but my eyes closed with a sound filling in my mind. All I could hear was a...

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
